Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live for a long time? To see people and things change over time? To never see your family again? Sigh. I guess that I should start at the beginning. It all started on a Thursday......
“Fi’sa!!! Get up!! You’re going to be late!!!! FI’SA!!!”
“Groan, I’m up mom,” mumbled a voice softly.
“FI’SAAA!!!”
“I’M UP!!!” She yelled so her mother could hear her.
“Bloody school” mumbled Fi’sa as she dragged herself up out of her bed and got tangledin her blankets. Eepp! BAM! Groan.
“Stupid bed” she growled from the floor. She fought with her blankets that where wrapped around her legs for a minute, before giving up and kicking them off.
“FI’SA!”
“I’M COMING!” Fi’sa then changed out of her pj’s into black jeans with a red and silver dragon that wrapped around her left leg, its head on the top of her thigh. Her shirt was silver with an emerald green dragon on it. She applied black eyeliner and green eye shadow over her green and brown eyes, combed her black hair, grabbed her book bag and ran out of her room when she was done tying her shoes. Her mother was at the front door holding her lunch and as Fi’sa ran out her mother handed her lunch to her.
“Have a good day at school and no skipping classes!!!!”
“Whatever mom!”As Fi’sa ran to her bus stop she never noticed nor felt that any one was watching her, so when she ran into someone it definitely was a surprise. Wumph.
“Oh! I’m so sorry Miss! Are you ok?” a young man asked Fi’sa who was still on the ground.All of a sudden she started to laugh, “Today, snort, is not, giggle, my day! Hahaha!!”
The young man gave her a bemused look and stated, “Well since you’re laughing and not groaning or bleeding I’ll assume that you are ok and not in dire need for an ambulance.”
“Snort, no, I’m not in dire need for the ambulance, but I am definitely in dire need to catch the bus for school.”
“You mean the bus the pass by two minuets ago?”
“ WHAT!!!!”
The young man gave Fi’sa an amused look.
“Aw man, mom is going to kill me for missing the bus and it’s all your fault too!” Fi’sa glared at the young man while he gave her a look that said, “Yeah right.”
“Hey, what’s your name?” she asked as she got up from the ground.
“Vulcan, Vulcan Nem”
“Nem?”
“Yeah Nem, short for Nemathail”
“ So your name is Vulcan Nemathail?”
Vulcan sighed. “It’s an old Romanian name, it’s from my mothers side.”
“Oh, does it mean anything?”
Vulcan winced. “Yeah it means Nightshade.”
“Hm, cool”
Vulcan stared at Fi’sa.
“Quit staring at me like that, its creepy.”
“I’m just surprised that you thought my name was cool.”
“Why, don’t get complements often?” Fi’sa asked incredulously.
“Erm, no I don’t” A blank stare met the statement that was said uneasily.
“You have got to be kidding me.”
Vulcan’s eyes sidled away. “Let’s just say that my ancestors were not what you would call decent to anyone.”
“ In other words they killed people?”
Vulcan winced again, “No they suck the blood out of the person.”
Another blank look.
Vulcan fidgeted and looked at Fi’sa sadly, “I’m sorry Fi’sa…”
“Wha!?” Fi’sa started to say but wasn’t able to finish, for she was knocked out. The last thing she was able to see was Vulcan frowning at whatever was behind her, and fangs glinting in the sunlight.
“Groan, ooww, I feel like I was hit with a two by four, huh?” Fi’sa stared wide-eyed at the room she was in. A huge fire was crackling in a black marble fireplace that was near the base of the bed, and the bed was king size with a velvet looking cover, silk sheets and a black ivory headboard. The room itself was majestic. Long black curtains hanged over windows that where ceiling high. A chandelier was the only source for light in the room. It looked Victorian with a slight sense of a gothic theme. Dark reds mixed with blues, grays and blacks gave an eerie shadowlike impression that you where sleeping outside during the night. “Oh my gosh!”
“So you awoke already.”
Fi’sa whipped around and saw Vulcan. “Why the heck am I here?!”
Vulcan gave her a bland look.
Bang! A boy that looks like he is ten runs into the room. “When did you get back big brother?”
Vulcan growls at the boy. “ Nickloi what do I keep telling you about slamming the doors?”
Nickloi snorts. “Never slam the doors or I will beat you till you’re black and blue.”
Fi’sa watches this all wide-eyed until she snapped. “CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I’M DOING HERE!!!!”
Nickloi gave Vulcan a sly look. “You didn’t tell her yet huh?”
“Keep your mouth shut Nickloi before I do it for you.”
“Fine have fun telling her ‘cause I’m not staying to have my ears blown out.” Nickloi slowly fades out until you could only see the outline of his body.
“What the!”
“ Showoff” muttered Vulcan “Fi’sa come here please.”
“ No.”
“Why not?”
“ Oh nothing really, maybe because you KIDNAPPED ME!!!!”
“Sigh, if you want to know why you are here, you have to walk over to me.”
“ Why do I have to do that when you could just tell me right where I am?”
“Fi’sa don’t make me do this, I don’t want to force you.”
Fi’sa looks at him warily. “Make me.”
“I didn’t want to do that to her, elder brother, but she didn’t give me a choice.”
“So you knocked her out. You know if this keeps up she won’t trust any of this, nor will she trust us when we need it.”
“I know… what if we…no that won’t… I just want this to be over with!!”
“We all want it to be over with, Vulcan, the sooner the better. You know what happens if she doesn’t find out what she is.”
“I still think that it’s not fair for her nor for any of the others that are found!”
“Uhhhh, what happened?” Fi’sa said groggily. She opened her eyes to see three men standing in front of her. The tallest had black hair with red streaks that went down to his kneesand dark emerald eyes. The middle had maroon hair with silver streaks that was down to hiswaist and black eyes; while the shortest one had dark green hair with black streaks that was down to the middle of his back and silver eyes. They where all wearing black jeans with silk dress shirts.The maroon haired one says hastily as she was sitting up,
“Fi’sa I’m Vulcan, I know that I might look different but I’m still the same.”
“Yeah you’re still the same all right, knocking a defenseless girl out when she just wants to know why she was KIDNAPPED BY STRANGERS!!!!”
The green haired man snickers at the look on Vulcan’s face. “You knew that she would be mad bro, so don’t look so crestfallen, even if what she said was true.”
“ Shut UP Nickloi! You shouldn’t be talking, you knocked her out the first time!”
“WHAT!!” Fi’sa scrambles up and starts poking Nickloi in the chest, “What gave you the right, no the HONOR to even think of knocking me out!!”
“THAT IS ENOUGH!!!”
Everyone looks at the black haired man.
“Vulcan, Nickloi you both seem not to be able to tell Lady Fi’sa anything without getting into a argument first, so get out of here.”
“But Brother…” They both start to say
“OUT!!”
They scamper out like a pair of punished children told that they had to go to bed with no dinner.
“ I am sorry that you had to see them act like that Lady Fi’sa”
Fi’sa gave the black haired man a confused look. “ Lady? Why call me something so old fashioned?”
“Please sit, I’m sure that you are very confused.”
“That’s an understatement, bewildered is more like it.” Fi’sa sat in an old Victorian chair while the man went around a desk and sat.
“ My name is Ridan; as you have probably guessed Vulcan and Nickloi are by brothers.”
“Yeah I guessed from the way you guys acted, but why call me Lady?”
“ I had hoped that you wouldn’t push to find information quite yet; but go ahead and ask any questions that you think need to be answered.” Ridan stated a bit sarcastically.
“…” “Why did you kidnap me?”
“We needed you.”
“ Wha uh, why exactly do you guys need me?”
“Do you know the story of the shadow princess?”
“Of course, everyone knows the legend of the princes, but what dose that have to with me?”
“Could you tell me what you know of the legend?”
“ Why?”
“ Please, just tell what you know.”
“ Fine. The shadow princess was powerful. She could, at the age of three do complex spells that her father could never do and out run a cheetah. She had super strength and stronger senses than a bloodhound. Sadly she was from a royal family and they had many jealous enemies that either wanted her for themselves or they wanted her dead; so her parents sent her away and as her parents came back from wherever they sent her they died from an ambush on their castle. The princess was never found again.”
“Well they do seem to tell the mortals a lot of our history; but they don’t have all of it.” Ridan says to himself not realizing that Fi’sa could hear it.
“ Mortals? What is so different between us mortals, and you?” Ridan smirks at Fi’sa.
“I’m no different from you, but those mortals always seem to get our history mixed up with false information that we purposely throw in to confuse them.” Fi’sa gapes at him.
“I’m no different…” she mimics faintly. Ridan gives her a hard look.
“You are the Shadow Princess Fi’sa, our princess, our guardian from the harmful mortals that seek to kill us all.”
“What..I don’t….”
“Fi’sa you are a shadow vampire, the most powerful of us all.”
“………..” THUMP!
As you might have guessed; yes I did faint when I found out. It took time for me to get use to thefact that I was a vampire and that I will live long after my family, and their family had died. The only way our kind can die is if we are hurt with a rare metal called Zithanum. So slowly as the mortals died and repopulated the world; we vanished into legends and walked among them disguised as their own kind.
“Fi’sa!!! Get up!! You’re going to be late!!!! FI’SA!!!”
“Groan, I’m up mom,” mumbled a voice softly.
“FI’SAAA!!!”
“I’M UP!!!” She yelled so her mother could hear her.
